Right now there's a petition in Australia to establish a law that would prevent organizations like "Collective Shout" from forming harassment campaigns. This is only for Australians to sign, but it's also encouraged for others to share the petition. #SaveSpeech

So @steampowered.com decided that with the UK gov's ridiculous censorship of the internet, they would require that every UK user must be irresponsible in order to see boobs.
BUT, if you want to play a game about shooting people with GUNS, that's perfectly fine to not need a credit card to access.

So glad Nintendo waited until 2 days before I get paid to take Switch 2 pre-orders down...
They *do* realise I'm not buying any Switch 2 games without one, right? Like, EVERYBODY knows Pokemon Legends Z-A is going to run like dogswater on the Switch 1.

I'll admit, I'm not very far into Expedition 33, I keep having to take multi-day breaks to recover from it destroying me emotionally, but I *am* loving it.
My only real gripe is the complete lack of an in-game quest log for all the side stuff you can do; it's essential, I have a terrible memory!

Dear Nintendo,
What is the point of selling games for the Switch2 when you won't let anyone, besides scalpers, actually *BUY* the Switch2?
(Almost) Nobody's that fucking stupid that they'd buy games for a console they'll never get to play.

The self-recrimination and self-loathing when you realise someone you've been supporting is actually a horrible person never gets easier, does it?
At this point, I shouldn't trust my ability to judge somebody's character ever again.

For a brief moment today, the decades that have broken and crushed me sloughed off of my shoulders, and I was a teenager that melted 3 different discs of the same video game.

Stop feeding The Transphobe. Do not engage with the "muh childhood wizards" franchise.
There are thousands of other books and video games with wizards and magic that are much better quality. Try those.

And it has been. Every single day.
